After doing hours of research about the closest and most accessible places to reach the newly deposited piles of white stuff in the local mountains, we decided to stick close to town. Neither one of us really wanted to drive 4 hours to get to a place where the rest of Southern California was going to be. The traffic, sketchy road conditions and hordes of people suffering from cabin fever did not sound like the way we wanted to experience our weekend together.
We always find that not going very far to do the things we like to do ends up being the best decision for us. Both Jim and I have a hard time getting in the car and driving for different reasons. He commutes to Santa Ana every day during the week and does enough sitting in the car and in traffic. I don’t like getting in the car to get somewhere ever since we sold our cars to go sailing then lived in Hawaii and took the bus everywhere. Yes, the car is extremely necessary for our Southern California lifestyle and we could not live without it. However, to get in the car for long distances when you really don’t have to makes us think twice every time.
